NEW YORK — After guiding a crippled US Airways jet into the Hudson River and saving all 155 people aboard — a feat many were calling a miracle — the pilot at the helm became an instant hero. Chesley B. "Sully" Sullenberger III, 57, the pilot of Flight 1549, was honored by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg with a key to the city on Friday. Bloomberg also honored the rest of the crew, rescue workers and civilians who helped avert a disaster. Sullenberger, of Danville, Calif., is a former fighter pilot who runs a safety consulting firm in addition to flying commercial aircraft. He has flown for US Airways since 1980 and flew F-4 fighter jets with the Air Force in the 1970s. He then served on a board that investigated aircraft accidents and participated later in several National Transportation Safety Board investigations.
Chesley B. "Sully" Sullenberger has managed to do something that no one in the history of aviation history has ever done! He was able to ditch a plane, Ditching is a term used to describe landing a plane on water. Landing the plane was not only the trick but everyone surviving was the absolute wonder in this news scene. Now let me say this, Sully your life has just changed from a pilot on duty to a superstar on call!
I feel a movie title coming coming on, how does miracle on the Hudson sound? I wonder what the hold up is on the book? That title should be "How I Landed on the Hudson".
Now if you think that I am dreaming have you seen Mr Sully interviewing yet? No? You can believe this... When he does their will be a price tag involved... He probably has to talk to his agent first.
y wayto my head To begin he will never have to fly again unless he wants to.
